This issue is rge driver specific, I think. You could try to use gani
driver for this and see if it works with HW-checksumming enabled. For
this, modify /etc/driver_aliases:

from:

rge "pci10ec,8167"
rge "pci16ec,116"
rge "pci10ec,8136"
rge "pciex10ec,8136"

to:

gani "pci10ec,8167"
gani "pci16ec,116"
gani "pci10ec,8136"
gani "pciex10ec,8136"

and reboot. For minimalistic static IP configuration do this:

echo "1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500 broadcast + up" > 
/etc/hostname.rge0
echo "1.1.1.1" > /etc/defaultrouter
svcadm restart network/physical:default
